Inclusive school dream of most of the parents gets blocked due to restriction from such schools to appoint a shadow teacher with their child.
Shadow teacher is an educational assistant that is applied in very special circumstances when difficulties are observed in a child that are not easily accessible with ordinary classroom resources and not with the support of the classroom teacher or other teachers available in the school institution.
Shadow teacher assist the child with academic tasks, such as reading and writing, and help them navigate social interactions and social-emotional aspects of the classroom. Providing a shadow teacher allows the child to attend a mainstream class while receiving the extra attention he/she needs.
Anjil Rehab Foundation work in this area and train shadow teacher as per personal request from the parents. Our long term goal to continually start Shadow teacher training in collaboration with care givers agencies is on the way.
